Tidal Micropower Feasibility
Self‐starting without external excitation
Accommodate currents with time varying direction
High efficiency conversion of kinetic power to electrical power
— Low balance of system efficiency
— Relatively low rotor efficiency

Design Refinements Improved Rotor Efficiency
—Decrease solidity to increase λ
—Asymmetric foil with higher CL/CD at Rec ~ 104 – 105 (similar Rec to UAVs)
Submersible Direct‐Drive Generator
—With existing drivetrain, optimal λdepends on inflow velocity(undesirable for control)
— Eliminate rotary seal
—Minimize thermal management challenge
